There's no shortage of good bakeries in London right now, but Soho has quietly become one of the best places to spend a slow morning moving between coffee counters, pastry shelves and warm bread straight from the oven. From old-school patisserie institutions to newer spots drawing queues onto the pavement, these are the places we keep going back to.

If you're in London over Easter, base yourself in Broadwick Soho.

It's one of the few parts of the city where you don't need much of a plan. Everything happens within a few streets - and anything else is an easy walk away.

Here's how we'd spend it.

Mother's Day in Soho is best spent wandering. A coffee here, a sweet treat there, and perhaps a little gift discovered along the way.
